Snaidy,
I don't think you can judge grip by the tread wear numbers anymore. The manufacturers have done some amazing things about getting some decent wear into their max performance rubber in the last few years.
I would trust things like the user reviews at tirerack.com before I would worry about a UTQG rating. That rating is only comparable across a given manufacturer's line anyway - for example a Michelin with a UTQG of 200 might wear faster than a Pirelli with a UTQG of 150. So the only concrete conclusions you can draw are that, for example, a Michelin with a UTQG of 100 will wear faster than a Michelin with a UTQG of 200.
Oh yeah, and I believe Sumitomo owns Dunlop now!
